Abstract

This application relates to the field of communication technologies, and in particular, to a channel state information reporting method, an apparatus, and a readable storage medium. The method includes: determining indication information of M coefficients based on reference signals on N reference signal resources, where priorities of the M coefficients are determined based on priorities of the N reference signal resources, and the M coefficients are used to determine a precoding matrix; and sending first information, where the first information includes indication information of K coefficients, and the K coefficients are determined from the M coefficients based on the priorities of the M coefficients. It is ensured as much as possible that more important information can be preferentially reported, to reduce a performance loss of a communication system.
